You asked for a smile so I gave you a kiss
You asked for friendship so I gave you love
But when I asked you for your hand
You said I hadn’t given enough

You asked for my body so I gave you my heart
You asked for my trust so I gave you my soul
Still you asked me if I loved you
Darling, more than you will ever know

I know that I’m not perfect
And I will never try to be
That’s why I always ask for nothing
But I wish that you could see

That while you are so adjusted
To you and your surroundings
I will never fit in;
In your wake I’m drowning

Every day is a struggle for me
Trying so hard to understand
Nothing here is familiar to me
Trapped in a strange and frightening land

I can never explain to you
How hard it is for me
Trying my best to fit in
And be the one you want me to be

You told me that I’ve changed
Well yes, I probably have
It’s hard to keep giving out
When you’re getting nothing back

I only give out what I receive
And lately that isn’t much
I need love more than most
But I don’t get enough

I need more than I let on
More than I would like to admit
I’ve never tried to tell you
Because you wouldn’t believe it

Yes, you make me happy
But I live in constant fear
That one day I’ll wake up
And you’ll have disappeared

Part of me wants to leave
But I know I never can
For whether I like it or not
You hold my heart in your hand

I know I’ve never given you
Exactly what you asked for
Instead I gave you all I had
And still you ask for more?

Well I have nothing else to give!
I can’t help you anymore
I’m too weak to stand alone
Keep the monsters from the door

I’ve been falling for so long now
I know I’ll never have control
Out of strength and out of will
Yet still I promise more

I tried my best to please you
But I can’t live this life
I’m too tired to keep fighting
And I pray will all my might

That you love me as much as you say
And you’ll carry me to the end
For even though my love is strong
My heart, I fear, is dead
